Great results!! I start in November and hope to get the same!!

Great job.

Thanks JRH3. Diet and focus on keeping the core tight is the key. You can do it.

You had some great results. I will be taking my Day 30 measurements and pictures on Tuesday next week before I do Core Cardio and Balance. I know that my inches are going down in my waist and poochy lower abs area, but I am not so sure about the weight. Then again, I don't really care about the scale. I would love to say "I weigh 120 pounds" but because I am gaining so much lean muscle I don't think that will happen for a while. It's inches and body fat that I am mostly focused on!

I did a couple of rounds of P90X before doing Insanity. I have been with Beachbody since February 2007, and I even won the monthly contest back in March '08...that was actually because I had such great success with the X. Tomorrow is my last day of month 1 before recovery week, and I can honestly say that Plyo X is EASY compared to Insanity ANYTHING.

Depending on how my measurements come out, I might be starting a new thread in this forum next week. I have improved on the Fit Test A LOT...so far, my Switch Kicks alone went up from 135 on Day 1 to 143 on Day 15. I'm looking forward to seeing just where I will be at the end of this 60 days!

Hi guys,
Thanks for the future insight on my workouts with implementing P90X with Insanity. I'm currently wrapping up my 4th week on Insanity, I amazed myself with my second Fit Test results!! I am looking forward to getting to P90X afterwards, it seems to be more up my alley in getting fit but with the Insanity workouts there's no fooling around... it's hardcore!

I look forward to the challenge of Month 2 and seeing the hard work come together, not that I don't see slight improvements now... I'm excited to work hard and literally sweat hard to get there! I still get out of breathe about half way through the workouts and I get down on myself for that but I just shake it off and jump back in when I can.

Around Week 3 I started to experience neck pain, like when you sleep funny and it hurts for a few days and you can't turn your head, it's subsided quite a bit but still have issues at times, do you think the Insanity workouts could be causing my discomfort? Nothing else has changed in my life except working out. I'm looking into get some new cross trainers, any particular brand I should be looking at that has good shock absorption?

The caloric intake hasn't been as difficult as I thought it would be, I always ate healthy just a little bit more that the suggested 300 calories per meal. I am constantly hungary and am thankful for Meals 2 and 4 to round out my appetite. I'm usually hungary right before I go to bed (3 hours after dinner), do any of you have any suggestions for a healthy, low fat mini-snack?

Thanks.

Max, 1st super job for doing Insanity. It's no joke. For the neck pain I wouldn't think it's Insanity. Try your pillows. I was using 2 pillows and then went to 1 until the pain went away.
If you are constantly hungry you need to increase your calories. Insanity take a lot of energy. Start by going up in small amounts. say around 100. Let me know how this works for you.
For a light evening sack stick with wet carbs instead of dry. Fruits and Veggies. I like a peach or an apple to curb that hunger.

Hey awesome job coachladdyboy! I am starting month 2 tomorrow and I feel a little nervous about that but then again I was nervous when I first started day 1. I am hopeing to get similar results like you have. Did you do Insanity only or did you add some P90X in there too? I am just doing the program like it was made but I sure miss the weights. I am looking forward to finishing Insanity and starting another round of P90X possibly with Insanity mixed in. Great job!

Thanks for posting your plans for Phase 1 of your next round! I am starting my recovery week for Insanity (reluctantly...cause I wanna work and lose more fat, and even though I KNOW I will be...well, you know, it's a mental *thing*) but this week I am going to be planning out my next round. This gives me some ideas. I had already decided to combine P90X and Insanity...I like have you have the ARX on cardio days. That works better for me than the resistance days and I am sure it will be part of my plan.

My Day 30 is Tuesday...I am looking forward to seeing those inches (and possibly pounds) drop!

Thanks coachladdyboy for your suggestions, much appreciated. I will bump up my caloric intake by 100 calories, happy about that since I love to eat!

About the pillow situation, I have a Tempurpedic pillow, it's a few years old, so I'm wondering if I should be getting a new one??

Last day for letting the neck rest, back to the old grind tomorrow! Can't wait! I miss the days when I don't work out, anyone feel the same way?

Hey coachladdyboy I did the first day of month 2 Max Interval Circuit and boy did Insanity step it up a notch. It wore me out. Between that and the Fit Test I burned almost 1200 calories. I can tell that month 2 is where the results are going to come from. Please email the hybrid program you made. It sounds exactly what I want to do after I finish Insanity. wolfsridge@hughes.net

I'm just starting, but it is possible that your neck pain is due to the jumps. Sounds crazy at first but check this out, I have to watch myself when I do the jumps right now because I notice I am stressing my neck out. I will try so hard to jump high that I tense up my neck more than my legs or abs sometimes. That very well might be what you are doing too. If so, just really pay attention to the way you are jumping. I hope that made sense!
